JOUNCE BUMPER - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240308287 titled 'JOUNCE BUMPER

The present disclosure pertains to a jounce bumper comprising a main body and an insert. The main body is made of a first polymeric material, while the insert is integral with the main body and consists of a second polymeric material different from the first one. The insert includes a first plate, a second plate, and a connecting lattice that links the two plates together. The first polymeric material of the main body is situated between the first and second plates within the connecting lattice.

• The jounce bumper includes a main body and an insert with different polymeric materials.
• The insert is composed of a first plate, a second plate, and a connecting lattice.
• The first polymeric material of the main body is located within the connecting lattice.
• The insert is integral with the main body, providing structural integrity.
• The use of different polymeric materials enhances the performance and durability of the jounce bumper.
